Draft:Lassy Mbouity

• Comment: a lot of times there are citations just after his name. The lead has five after just his name. I am not sure what the point of that is. It looks like WP:REFBOMBING. Sentences like "It was in this sad atmosphere" are emotive and not appropriate. Also, please break up the text into paragraphs to make it more readable. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 14:37, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Political Career

As an opposition politician In the regime of Denis Sassou Nguesso, president of the political party "The Socialists" and candidate for the 2026 presidential election in the Republic of Congo, Lassy Mbouity spent his last years fighting social injustices and bad governance in his country. It is in this sense that he founded the political party "THE SOCIALISTS" to bring its members together around meaningful activities, with the aim of conquering and exercising power in the Republic of Congo, through its program based on socialism. Lassy is deeply committed to defending human rights and the well-being of the Congolese people by leading activities aimed at raising awareness among the people and the government about social injustices, with the aim of improving living conditions and freeing populations suffering from poverty, as well as combating the regime of President Denis Sassou Nguesso, who has ruled our country for over 40 years amidst corruption, tribalism, nepotism, discrimination, famine, lack of access to healthcare, lack of access to housing, lack of education and employment, and human rights violations. === Death Threats, Assassination Attempts, Kidnapping, and Torture === After founding the political party "The Socialists," Lassy organized several demonstrations to demand the resignation of President Denis Sassou Nguesso and announced his intention to run in the 2026 presidential election. These political activities were frowned upon by the leaders of the regime in power in Congo-Brazzaville, who saw him as an enemy and a man to be brought down. As a result, Lassy Mbouity was the victim of poisoning, death threats and kidnapping, several assassination attempts, arrest and torture that resulted in a broken finger, attacks and closure of the headquarters of his newspaper and the Congo-Brazzaville Information publishing house, nighttime attacks on his residence, violence against his wife and children by armed men, death threats against his family, and an attempted rape of his wife. Lassy Mbouity was arrested and wrongfully abducted by armed police officers in Brazzaville on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at around 11 a.m. at the Mazala roundabout in Moukondo, not far from his home located at 2 rue Milandou Cité des 17, and imprisoned without justification for four (04) days of detention until his release on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at around 2 p.m., after being forced to stop denouncing social injustices and bad governance, to stop fighting and opposing the Denis Sassou Nguesso regime. It was in this sad atmosphere that Lassy Mbouity decided and began to live with his family in hiding for security reasons. Having not renounced his ideas, he was sought and threatened with death daily by unknown and unidentified persons, who had already come to his home several times. The Denis Sassou Nguesso regime wants to physically eliminate him because Lassy Mbouityis currently a Congolese opposition politician described as radical because of his highly critical remarks. On the evening of April 30, 2025, about ten people tried to kill Lassy Mbouity when he came out of hiding to run errands. "I noticed that several people were following me after I left my home. Suddenly, several people started hitting me with sticks. When I noticed they had bladed weapons like knives and a machete, I fought them before I could run away. I was seriously injured and suffered pain on my face, the back of my head, my right shoulder, my back, my left arm, and my left leg. I knew that Denis Sassou Nguesso's regime had sent people everywhere to look for me with the aim of physically eliminating me," Lassy Mbouity told the press. "We can no longer spend two (2) months in the same place." "I was still in great pain, with a lot of shock and pain all over my body, when I received death and kidnapping threats by phone," added the Congolese opposition leader. On the morning of May 11, 2025, after filing a complaint with the Brazzaville High Court and preparing other international complaints with his spokesperson Martial Mbourangon Pa'nucci, Lassy Mbouitywas dressing in the bedroom when five (5) armed men in civilian clothes and hooded entered his house to drag him to the living room naked in front of his wife and children, brutalized him, handcuffed him, bandaged his face before taking him into a black vehicle without a license plate. They told his wife that they had to interrogate her and that she had to remain calm. “We made several stops before driving for hours to a destination where I was taken to a very quiet room. Until leaving this strange place, I did not hear the sound of a vehicle, human voices, birds, or even the sound of a mosquito or a fly. They tied me with ropes on a chair, still blindfolded, tortured me, broke my teeth, beat my testicles and abandoned me for days without eating. It was some time before leaving this strange place that they stuck a syringe in my arm and buttocks while they tortured me, before asking me a few questions like why am I criticizing the Sassou Nguesso regime? I must know that I have undermined state security and wanted to overthrow the institutions. They forbade me from showing myself with opposition politicians, human rights organizations and members of my political party. Do I have weapons of war and how many activists did my political party, The Socialists, have? Am I supported by foreigners? They finally told me that this was my last warning if I wanted to live and asked me to never criticize the Denis Sassou Nguesso regime again, to leave the country in a week before putting me in a vehicle, driving for hours and abandoning me in Madoukou de poto-poto completely naked. "It is thanks to two (2) young men who called my relatives to come and get me quickly that I am alive today," explained Lassy Mbouity in a special interview on the Renaissance TV channel R7. After ten (10) days of confinementand torture, and thanks to a strong mobilization of the Congolese people and the diaspora, human rights organizations and the Congolese media, the opponent Lassy Mbouitywas found abandoned naked in the Madoukou River in Poto-Poto, Brazzaville, but in critical condition before being rescued by two young Congolese men.
